That won't affect the primer?

Nice build, cant wait to see how it does. I am planning for a SI build currently, I just cant decide whether I want to run a m6 or a th350. With the amount of "in depth" work you're doing, I would def. run the 4.56 gear with a 29 tire.

the wax and grease remover is made for cleaning that stuff up before you paint it, you'll be fine

in post #76 regarding your intake setup.. how is this going to work? Is it going to go over the top of the radiator or behind or what?

very nice.. how much further back does the radiator sit now with it like that? You going to put some sort of heat shield to keep IAT's down?

^^where did you get that bend at, is it alumin or steel...

do you happen to know the centerline radius of the bend, looks fairly tight...

I removes my lower radiator support and fabbed up some alumin brackets so I could move my radiator back some and down 3-4"...plently of clearance now and saved 16lbs off the nose

The radiator position is pretty close to stock, maybe 1" further back at most. No heat shield, not really worried about heat with the intake being 4" and fairly short.

I got it at globaltecheng.com it's aluminum with a 60 deg bend. I dont remember the radius though.

ha yeah that is exactly where i was going to get mine to test out...I am sure it is the tightest radius they have for 4" aluminum which is a CLR of 6"

thanks

Yup, 6" sounds right.

Finally got the damn engine bay painted! I'm kinda dissapointed because I got a ton of debris in it when I went to do the clear coat but it's done now so **** it. Still need to do some wet sanding and buffing but it doesn't look too bad.

Nope. I just got home from a 6 week job 5 days ago and I'm already back out on another ~3 week job.

Little update. The motor is back in, fuel system is done, and most of the harnesses are back in. I don't have any good pics but here's a couple of how I ran the fuel lines.
